He never met a stranger and always made you feel welcome no matter where you were at. You always had a good time when you were with Mark and you could be sure that he always had your back if he was your friend. That being said, if he was your friend, he was one for life. No matter what, you could call on him and he would be there. He is preceded in death by his parents, Capt. Paul E. and Hilda J. Kreinhop and his grandparents, C.F.

There is also an entire army of men and women known as the divers, crew and staff from the Underwater Construction Company in Tenn., and Conn. He left this earth way too soon and he will be missed by many. Go in peace Mark. A celebration of life for Mark will be announced at a later date.

2: I love you littleBrother, Mike | My Liitle Brother

3: "Believe in happily ever after and it will come true"

4: M | y LittleBrother | Mark was my best friend. When ever I needed anything, he was there. He may not have what I needed, but he was always there to listen. It didn't matter what time of day or night either. There were times when I would call him in the wee hours of the day, knowing I was waking him up, yet needing to talk. He didn't care. His response was "I had to wake up to answer the phone anyway!" I don't know what happened. We may never know. But the one thing I know for sure is that I lost the only person who stood beside me no matter what. There is a hole in my heart when he left this Earth. I will miss you forever, Mark. I love you Kathy Lynne

6: Mark never knew a stranger. That smile and those blue eyes could light up a room. Your forver in our hearts and we will honor you everyday by simply smiling which is what you always made us do. We love you and will forever miss you.

7: Mark

9: M | y Big Brother Mark | Last night I sat outside in the rain for what seemed like hours. Me and god cried together over losing you. I asked God why and he only cried harder then me and pounded his fists with furious thunder and lightening like I wanted to. I love you but I am so mad at you for cheating us of you and growing old with you. Know that your always in my heart and I love today tomorrow and always your baby sister Karen

11: M | y Uncle Mark | I remember when uncle mark use to live with me , my two little brothers,my mom, and my stepdad. He would drive us to school every day in his big 'ol scuba van. We would ride in the back part of his van and he had no seats back there but he did have tons of wood furniture so me and my brothers made the most of it and we each chose a little hole to climb in and each of use made it our ridding spot and between the there and the cab of the van was a metal door and when we got to the school to make sure we hadn't fallen asleep and to tell us we were at school he would bang on the door that big metal door and we would all pile out of the back one day one of my friends at school saw this happen and told me we looked like a swat team swarming the school. I loved it so much because it was so much fun. I only wish that he could have taught me and my brothers to scuba dive. To this day I still have the sweat shirt that he gave me with the logo that was on his van on it. I still remember when he bought this huge Hersheys bar he let us each have a piece or two. The little bars that make the full bar were the freaking the size of a regular Hershey bar. "I still don't understand why you left us here without you " We miss you, Blaze Meadows

13: M | y Uncle Mark | I remember when he used to drive us to school and everyday he would stop nd make sure we had money for lunch. I wish he was still with us but I will always remember how loving caring considerate and over all a great individual he was. If you wood please keep his memory in your heart and soul. We will forever miss you Uncle Mark Hayden Meadows

15: M | ark he was more than my Uncle | One thing i remember is mark taking me to school and every morning we would get in the truck and he would put in one of those new fangled devices know as a tape in the stereo. I dont think he ever found out what a cd or cd player was. lol But none the less this song would play and put both of us in a good mood on the way to school. The corries were one of his favorite bands, The Corries. I love and will miss you, Little Mike

16: My best Friend I will forever miss you Robbie Gilbert

17: M | y Best Friend | This is something to think about! How many of us will have others sit around a campfire and sing our songs? How many of us will have others try to emulate our humor? How many of us will create something that will be used long after we are gone? How many people will take the knowledge that we taught them, use it and then pass it on? I can say all these things about Mark Kreinhop! Mark was the most talented person that I have ever known! Most of all, Mark was my friend and was like a brother to me! I wish that I could have seen more of him than I did! Time and distance should be no excuse, but it is what we say! I feel gut shot and fell that I could have been a better friend! I know that if he were here that he say something ridiculous and tell me to get over it, but he is not and I am not! I will forever miss you, Robbie Gilbert

18: M | ark loved dving. It seemed to be the only thing that could pull him out of a bad day.. Well that and gummy bears, happy little kids that always loved him, helping people, accomp;lishing a goal that no one ever expected him to even atttempt. Mark was well educatied and I have heard many say one of finest craftsman, leather worker, blacksmith, electronics gru and best friend you could ever find.

20: We loved you not only for what you were, but who we were when we with you. We also came to know you as Angus Kreed! So begins the story!

21: After one of the re-enactments, we were on our way home and had to stop for gas and when we got out of the truck, a woman said, what's yo deal, anyway? Mark looked straight at her and said, musicians Mam, just musicians! The woman replied, Oh, I thought so! I had to turn around because, I had pepsi coming out of my nose! | Mark and myself were swimming at Fort Loudoun and swam a good distance out into the river than back to where a colonial bateaux was tied up. The man that owned the bateaux saw our heads and yelled, you get away from my boat! Mark started coming out of the water and you should have seen the look of horror on that fellows face! He said, I thought that you were a couple of kids, please don't kill me! The poor guy was not expecting such a large imposing person to be attached to that head! I laughed until I cried

22: When we were in the Boy Scouts, and would go down to Minor's for a camp out, Mark and myself would sleep in the old wooden, cabin boat called the Cheryl Ann. We really thought that we were doing something great! A few years back, I helped Don Henderson pull the old hulk out of the water, take her to the Scout hall, but she was too far gone! We cried like we had lost a dear friend when we cut her up! | We were at 96 and a woman was franticly looking for her child! Now, Mark larger than life, was crossing a foot bridge and ran into the woman! He said, I swear! I didn't eat the kid and started jumping up and down, causing the bridge to shake, yelling, I am not a troll, damn it! I am not a troll!

23: Mark said that Kreinhop was an old German name that loosely translated, I am sad that the frogs are dying! He made a new one up about my name every time I saw him! Kathy Kreinhop Actually it means "we need more marshmellows for the campfire". I don't know WHERE he got HIS information! =) | We were at Cowpens Battleground the day that desert Storm began and we were very interested in what was going on, but being at a re-enactment kind of puts you out of the loop! We decided to go into Gaffney to the Waffle House to eat and read the newspaper! To be continued! I had on a green greatcoat and a green balmoral and mark had on a brown greatcoat and a green balmoral, so of course people were looking at us! This lady ask us if we were headed for the Gulf and Mark never missed a beat and said that we were part of a special forces unit that was so deadly and effective that we were only allowed to carry flintlock muskets! The lady wished us luck and told us to keep safe!

24: Mark and myself went to fort Loudoun campaign style and slept between the guns on the fort wall. I can say that this was one of my more memorable re-enactments! We ate at food vendor that made fried pies and just had a grand old time! | According to Mark: gripage is defined as the act of gripance. Gripponderance is the process of concentrating with much thought on holding onto something with much gripage.oGriptoids: sub group of griptizoa= things that grab your ass underwater! Used in a sentence; While exploring a wreck of an old ship, a griptoid pulled my mask and regulator off

26: One of the smartest people I have ever know. I could tlak to him about anything. He was that kind of man.

27: He had a huge heart and would help anyone who needed it! he will be missed by all of us here at U.C.C. Clint Douthit | I graduated from Edneyville High in '81 with Mark. I just saw his obituary this morning in the Hendersonville Times News. My heart goes out to his family and friends. Even though I didn't know Mark very well, he seemed like a really great guy.
